Essay 3 Conspiracy Theories 1111.pdf 

Research Essay Assignment – Conspiracy Theories!

For this assignment, you will research a popular conspiracy theory. These theories have not been proven due to their lack of concrete evidence, which is why they are still considered a theory. Your task is to select a popular conspiracy theory, provide background information on the theory, research the reasons behind the theory and then provide either the flaw(s) or the reason(s) why they are true!

To put it simply, a conspiracy theory is an alternative explanation to an event. In order for a conspiracy theory to first begin, there has to be some lack of evidence or something that may not make sense. Unfortunately, what makes it a conspiracy and not reality is the lack of hard evidence. This is why it’s difficult to prove a conspiracy theory.

These are important questions when looking at any conspiracy theory:

• Does it make sense and/or is it reasonable?
• Is there enough evidence to support the theory?
• Does the conspiracy theory actually explain what happened?

Process:

• Select your conspiracy theory.
• Begin researching the theory.
• EITHER Find reasons/sources to support the theory OR find three reasons/sources to discount the theory.
• Begin the rough draft of your essay.

Expectations:

• Your essay should be a minimum of three (3) pages and a maximum of five (5).
• Your essay should have an introduction, at least three body paragraphs and a conclusion.
• Your introduction must have a thesis statement that indicates a clear, reason(s) for your theory.
• Double-space your essay
• Type out your essay
• Write in third person
• Include a captivating title
• Indent each paragraph
• Keep paragraphs balanced (include the approximate number of sentences in each)
• ALL sources needed to be cited accordingly to MLA or APA style

 I had attached the ufo_sightings_large.csv

• In this assignment, you will investigate UFO data over the last century to gain some insight.
• Please use all the techniques we have learned in the class to preprocesss/clean the datasetufo_sightings_large.csv
  .
• After the dataset is preprocessed, please split the dataset into training sets and test sets
• Fit KNN to the training sets.
• Print the score of KNN on the test sets

1. Import dataset “ufo_sightings_large.csv” in pandas (5 points)

2. Checking column types & Converting Column types (10 points)

Take a look at the UFO dataset’s column types using the dtypes attribute. Please convert the column types to the proper types. For example, the date column, which can be transformed into the datetime type. That will make our feature engineering efforts easier later on.

3. Dropping missing data (10 points)

Let’s remove some of the rows where certain columns have missing values.

4. Extracting numbers from strings (10 points)

The length_of_time column in the UFO dataset is a text field that has the number of minutes within the string. Here, you’ll extract that number from that text field using regular expressions.

In [ ]:

​ 

5. Identifying features for standardization (10 points)

In this section, you’ll investigate the variance of columns in the UFO dataset to determine which features should be standardized. You can log normlize the high variance column.

6. Encoding categorical variables (20 points)

There are couple of columns in the UFO dataset that need to be encoded before they can be modeled through scikit-learn. You’ll do that transformation here, using both binary and one-hot encoding methods.

7. Text vectorization (10 points)

Let’s transform the desc column in the UFO dataset into tf/idf vectors, since there’s likely something we can learn from this field.

8. Selecting the ideal dataset (10 points)

Let’s get rid of some of the unnecessary features.

9. Split the X and y using train_test_split, setting stratify = y (5 points)

In [9]:

X = ufo.drop(["type"],axis = 1)

y = ufo["type"].astype(str)

​

10. Fit knn to the training sets and print the score of knn on the test sets (5 points)

In [1]:

from sklearn.neighbors import KNeighborsClassifier

knn = KNeighborsClassifier(n_neighbors=5)

# Fit knn to the training sets

knn.fit(train_X, train_y)

# Print the score of knn on the test sets

print(knn.score(test_X, test_y))

I have attached file for the assignment instruction including the rubrics that need to follow throughly.
